  1. i dont know, but its usually form them seeing some of your personal details- if you leave a bank statement hanging around and someone sees it- you might have to start burning/ shredding personal bits of paper- or like me not leave in a drawer at work where a cleaner saw it and got me to pay their council rent ( a bit daft of them really). ( Hope the shoes fit)
  2. Would it be possible for there to military escorted convoys across the area where the pirates operate? Or are the speed of the various vessels too diverse to manage this? Just wondering as it worked in WW2.

  4. If it is still around Toddler Taming by a Dr ( Philip Green coems to mind but not sure)is helpful. Also a book called soemthing like how to talk so that kids listen and listen so kids will talk by Adele Faber and Elaine Mazlish.
  5. 13( thats at least 7 too many!!)
  6. Maybe you can swap some skills for food? I wonder if that is reflected in those stats?
  7. ?1 also buys a lot more if you dont live in London. It certainly goes much further in some parts of Glasgow.I know my father in law buys loaves of bread for 10p in the reduced section- I never see it that cheap here.
  8. IS it just me or is it fiddly to download podcasts on to an i pod? I seem to manage it but its a different way each week - and i have just tried to subscribe to womans hour but only got the last program -I find it really hard to rememeber what to do- the i tunes website makes it so difficult!!( why didnt i get an i pod years ago when everyone else did and then i would not look such a dunderhead). if anyone has any "simple" foolproof method please let me know before I hit the whisky. Thanks
  9. Thanks Applespider- maybe I am going against the traffic getting the tube to Victoria and then getting the train. FIngers crossed I will try it tomorrow. :)
  10. So, I stayed on the tube at victoria, at 5.45 and did not get off ( I went to Brixton and got a bus), but as we pulled away at Victoria I looked out of the window of the tube and it looked better than usual- it this just scare tactics? Getting the bus at Brixton is always a challenge and I am not sure I have the nerves to do this for the next year. Did anyone brave the tube/ mainline transport exchange in the rush hour and how was it?
  11. We actually get about ?88 pcm for first child and if we have to it is a total of ?146 pcm in child benefit in the UK. Makes Ireland look very generous.
  12. Anyone else looking forward to trying to avoid victoria underground between 3pm and 8pm tomorrow? and for the next year-grrrrrrrrr
  13. Try watching NEDS- for context on teenage gangs( I did have to close my eyes for some of it).
  14. Finding the "reading group book" for next month in a charity shop-or better still the libray- especially if you didnt really fancy it anyway..................
  15. I dont think jsut having a shower is always enough-I think deoedorant is also needed sometimes- especially if wearing synthetic fabrics.
  16. Slightly off but how do those proposed cuts compare to what we have here now? Lady Muck I am guessing you might know? I am a bit out of touch ( for the moment anyway ) on what we give under our welfare system.
  17. How can yo not want to see your childs' face as you walk along? I think it is a priority- otherwise you have to keep stopping and checking them. Ok after 6 months maybe you move to a lighter buggy that faces the front, but I think it is one of the real joys of being a parent. Nothing worse than seeing those zombied looking parents/carers with a mobile phone in their hands who talk on their phones for 30 mins non stop and ignore their charges!!! grrrrr.
  18. Its just a freebie for those teachers. do not encourage them. say no and try and whip up other parents the same. At age 13 they are not all even going to choose Art GCSE. It is not uncommon ( the price) but quite unusual at age 13, I think.
  19. Everyone HAs to recite a Burns poem- in their best attempt at a scots accent. Tam O shanter - verse each is a very good one.Whisky on your haggis- maybe a spot of brown sauce on the side too. Soup to start- cock a leekie or ham and lentil.
  20. Karter I actually think an answerphone where you can screen your calls and a hands free phone are essential.The former particularly around your due date - if you are late- some people insist on calling you all the timeand it can drive you nuts.Secondly you cant breast feed and lots of other things while holding a phone and sometimes you need helpand to have both hands free. Good luck.
